Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/11] linux/interrupt: Fix prototype matching property

From: Joao Moreira <joao@...rdrivepizza.com>

Unions will make function pointers with different prototypes be used through
the same call. This leads into the same call instruction being used for
calling functions with different prototypes, making them unsuitable for
prototype-based fine-grained CFI.

Fix this CFI policy violation by removing the function pointer union in
the tasklet struct.
